Official Club Charity of the Season DIAS appeal for fans to support Project Shoebox for victims of domestic violence.

Wigan Athletic’s Official Club Charity for the 2015-16 season, domestic violence support group DIAS, are asking supporters to help with a Christmas Shoebox appeal for domestic violence victims this Christmas.

Domestic violence occurs throughout the year, but Christmas time especially can be an incredibly difficult period for men, women and children who are experiencing abuse, with an increase in reports of domestic violence being made to a number of police forces across the country during the holiday period.

Project Shoebox aims to provide victims of domestic abuse, who have sought support in domestic violence refuges over Christmas, with useful items that men, women, children and families can use while they are in the refuges.
